Hey Yong, I really don't mean anything hor... anyway I want to discuss with you on setting up a vivarium at your office? Has it been done before? Do PM me. Thanks!

[Blue Whale]

>"< hmm...I am ok with mini lorry. The thing is the kuku weather. It's been xiao xiao (mad) for the past few days. Have extreme heat then suddenly rain. Especially the eastern side of singapore. Surrounded by Pasir Ris, Changi, East coast, and....Bedok Reservoir if you include that...more prone to rain.

Desmond, Eddy, what is the dateline for both transport? Friday? Should be able to get a better reading on Thurs or so. I am comparing two forecast at the moment. One say Sunny with extreme heat whilst the other say rain. Both are right if you combined the report.

\^o^/ Yong, don't feel guilty, there will be another time, hopefully you can make it next time! Ai zai!

bro Felix, are you sure you want your Girlfriend to sit on the Van floor? And what do you intend to buy back that needs a lorry? A 4ft driftwood?

I think she got me to sit on . Must bring cushion right.
Not really need to buy, but price wise i know its alot cheaper, but of course get one with a canopy.

Good reasons: Moving lorry provide good air circulation like army 3-5 tonner. (People who served combat units during NSF should know best )

Bad points: If no canopy and it rains.
(The weather nowdays is total RANDOM you know)

I waiting for a good time to go your office "See see look look"
How about this Friday (IF my leave is not canceled)

Umm..Lorry also means speed limit, hence your feet would be numb by the time it reaches Pasir Ris Lorry however got two seatings on the left of the driver. Passengers behind can stretch legs, if not legs will be numb if you cross them.

Thats why i mentioned army + combat unit. 3-Ton from AMK to somewhere near GAN's for training = enjoy breeze + ZZZzzzzzz. 3-Ton also have speed limit, unless the driver like to "initial D". Only worried if we rent lorry, Who can drive it.

I leave the liaising to Desmond.

[dkk08]

well guys I just found out lorry is out. I forgot which line I'm in

if we sit on lorry, we might just be breaking the law unless its those covered with seats mounted... remember the recent hoo haa on the workers who got into road accidents and they were sitting on a uncovered seatless lorry? And insurance do not cover us as well if anything(touch wood) were to happen... so lorry might be out of the quesiton...

as for the Mini Bus, it serves as a back up plan if Adrian and Eddy cannot make it that day... of cause I hope both Adrian and Eddy can confirm by thursday so that if they can't make it I can still confirm on the Mini Bus

[David Moses Heng]

Guys, thanks for keeping the flame burning bright and strong.

Things to note here:

for the route, it will be more advisable to travel up east first then head down north to Jalan Kayu and eventually YCK.
i.e Sembawang to Drive 12 Via SLE then to Sea View @ Jalan Kayu Via SLE followed by Bah Soon Pah Road via Yushun Ave 7 and finally to YCK CC via Lentor.

I am not sure if i got route correct but the sequence of travel should be as those in bold.

Also, for bus rental, the rate is about $120 per return trip for a 20 seater.

I am truly sorry I can't make it and have to "desert" you guys. But family come first especially when my wife needs all the rest that she can have after having labour pain for 13 hours...

Feel free to contact me for any pointers / tips either by PM or email. AN ddon't forget the photos please.

Enjoy yourself guys!!

Family 1st. hobby 2nd.

What's your little tiger's name

[David Moses Heng]

Thank you Nic for your well wishes and that was quite a while back. Well I have been very productive and went on to ad 3 more little david into my family.

Felix, my son's name is Raphael Heng Zhi En.

Raphael is a hebrew word meaning God has healed.
Gotten the name from the Herew dictionary.

[Blue Whale]

David you going to form one platoon of little david in no time...heh heh. subject to CO approval. Have you submitted your indentment form yet?

The schedule was originally made for 1 day and shrink down to half due to the YCK Iwa thingy. I be going along with whatever arrangement. Hope I can get a sound weather reading from the east side by then. Meantime, haze is starting to built up into visible range today. Still monitoring. So far can tell Woodlands, Marsiling, Sungei Kadut, most visible whilst CCK and Bukit Batok on the lighter side.

I got a serious chronic asthma attack for 4 decades, but still will brave through any haze and S02 cloud (sulphur dioxide which emit by any volcano ) without any effect on me.

That's the spirit .
Eddy, your Kopi is on me man !

[Aquanoob]

Dkk08, you smell burnt smell too, that means that it is really a woods fire somewhere near. I initally thought is due to the some neighbour's food got burnt while cooking.
So we meeting at home ground Sun Plaza this outing?
